Hi all,

This is for small/medium size counties, without a chest clinic and without a pharmacy.  We are looking for Policies and Procedures around RNs repacking medications in to the DOT Packets.  We receive the medications from our patients (filled at commercial pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens).  We then create individual DOT packets in small plastic envelopes.  Some concerns/questions that have come up are focused around:

· Labeling

· Child Poisoning Prevention Act

· The actual physical repackaging of medication

Thank you all!  Have a safe Labor Day weekend.

Katie
